More details on Auden’s Kitchen

Just spoke to Perny Shea, director of special events at Biga on the Banks, and got some details on Bruce Auden’s new Auden’s Kitchen that will be opening in the Concord Plaza in Stone Oak.

Shea says nationally recognized chef Auden’s new restaurant is going into the spot where Tresca was located, so there will be both indoor and outdoor seating.

“It’s going to be very affordable, very casual, with an open ktichen. The pricepoint will be the big difference. It’s not going to be Biga (in terms of price),” she says.

Auden will divide his time between the two locations; he’s already hired his “key person” for the new venture, though they’re not disclosing the name at this time. Plans are to open the restaurant the end of January.

The menu is a work in progress, but Shea says the location has “a little pizza oven,” so you can count on pizza being on the menu. Breads will be baked at Biga and taken to the Stone Oak location.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t put some fish and chips on there,” she says. “There’s a good possibility of that one.”
